Be it known that I, GEORGE H. SMITH, of the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and useful composition of matter, which I distinguish by the name of Miss O. J. Smiths Infallible Cure for Consumption, Scrofula, Asthma, Group, Coughs, Bronchial Afi'ections, Colds, &c., Ste. and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of my method of making, using, and compounding the same.

My composition consists of an admixture of Laurus oenzoz'n, pure water, bicarbonate of potash, the inner bark of cephalanthns, or button .bush, and common white sugar, in the following proportions, to wit: To six gallons of pure water I put two pounds of Laurus benzoin, sometimescalled Benzoin odarz'ferum; half a pound of bicarbonate of potash; ten pounds of OepkaZan-thus occidentalz's, or button bush, and seventy-two pounds of crushed white sugar. I boil this admixture until the sugar is all taken up in solution; then cool, and bottle up, and it is ready for use. A dose for an adult is two tablespoonfuls every three hours until relief is obtained. For younger persons a proportionate smaller dose is administered, but at the same intervals of time.

I have found by repeated trials that this compound will cure the most inveterate cough, the most deepseated constitutional sorofula, asthma of the worst type, and all bronchial or other throat diseases.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The composition herein described, when the same is compounded of'the ingredients herein specified, in the proportions as given, for' the purpose set forth. I

' GEO. H. SMITH.
